The effects of L-carnitine on the embryonic development of (Danio rerio) zebra fish

This study aimed to determine the effects of L-carnitine on rate of normal development and morphology of zebra fish embryos at different stages of its development. In this study, the only animal model used was the zebrafish (Danio rerio) and it was examined morphologically only, no biochemical or hi...
